> I've been on Zoloft, 100 mgs for two months. I am a long term sufferer of panic attacks, anxiety and depression. I had great success with it before, but this time it's certainly not doing what it did before. I was on hormone replacement therapy but had to discontinue it for the time being. I know HRT can have depressive effects. Before I went back on Zoloft I had been on Effexor XR (AWFUL) and Celexa (DOUBLE AWFUL). Between all the meds I've put on about 40 pounds and have absolutely ZERO libedo. I'll be seeing my psychdoc next week and was going to ask him about Remeron but I've been reading about the weight gain stuff. That's all I need right now!!!

> I know this year has been a rough one for me, I changed jobs, moved in with my boyfriend after living on my own for 20 years. I've moved to a very, very small community and I'm not sure if I can adjust to all this change. I have to drive 40 mins to work and back and if anyone lives on the Prairies in Canada, they know it's far from a piece of cake in the winter. My 19 year old single daughter had a baby in August and is struggling both financially and emotionally. Anyway, I don't know if I changing meds at this point is a good thing or not but I know I have to do something. I absolutely hate starting new meds.

> I would really like to hear from anyone who's been down and is on their way up, especially with Remeron. Sorry to ramble on but that's sort of the way my brain is working. My concentration is very bad right now, not sure if it's menopause or Zoloft. PLEASE someone, talk to me.
